DServer loading from .mission file

[WWSitttingDuck]

Dserver is not loading from, nor transferring the .msnbin file any more if both the .mission file and .msnbin file are on the server.
 

I understand simple solution is to not put the .mission file on the server, but this is not the way it has worked in the past.

 

Newest .msnbin file I have from joining a server is 2/22/21, so what ever changed did so around that date.

It has always been thus.

What I do with my server is once the mission has been resaved I rename the "name.mission" to "name.mission.old" this then makes dserver use the msnbin file instead.
This way if I have to make any mission adjustments its just a simple matter of renaming the mission file editing, saving, and renaming the mission file again.

As Cynic_AI mentioned, it has been this way as long as I remember.

Nevermind it was due to retrying the same mission before and after deleting the mission file.
Does anyone know why, when I delete the .mission file, I no longer can join the server? I still have the msnbin file, the same one I select on the sds. I’m using pwcgfc coop campaign on dserver, so it saves the .mission and .msnbin to multiplayer/cooperative. Is there something else I need to do for the server to use the msnbin file?
